Thanksgiving 2008

The short version is that we pigged out and then went on a hike to Sabino Canyon, at the end of which it poured!

There were puddles at Sabino because it had rained. Earlier Jaeden had on a shark tee shirt so as he neared the puddles I said “Watch out for sharks!” So we were careful of sharks for the rest of the walk. Then at one point I threw a couple pebbles in the puddles to feed the sharks. Hey, if it weren’t for people like me, psychologists would be unemployed! I’m good for the economy!

The little squarish thing in the center of the above pic is a waterfall.

Old Pics

When I was going through the photo albums, I found pics from various times that I liked.

I think of this as my “before” picture. When I left Tucson, I spent a little time (5-10 days)with John and his family in Wisconsin on my way to Syracuse. This was taken of me there, and I think it’s the last picture of me before I entered the convent. It may have been taken the day of Anthony’s baptism, as wearing a dress wasn’t my biggest joy then any more than it is now. I did always like that dress, though, as far as dresses go!

John sent me this one — I think it’s priceless!

These were taken at the zoo in 2006. Half the point of the second one was to get the flamingos, because my friend Sue likes them (unless she’s thoroughly sick of them by now because people keep giving her flamingo stuff!).

These are two different Christmases, as you can tell by the number of front teeth one of the people in the picture has!

Donna is four months old here.

This is me with my maternal grandmother. I was 8 weeks old. What a cute I was! OK, you can’t tell from the picture, so you just have to take my word for it!

This is Carina, Raina, and Cherissa in November of 1996. I love getting photos or photo cards every year!

This is from a visit to Skokie when I lived in Syracuse. I think it was around 1995. Ray and I have been friends since seventh grade (1969-70) and Mary and I have been friends since sophomore year (I met her when I got back to school after having mono — November 1972).
